Patrick Stewart Moves To Brooklyn, Becomes Coolest Guy Ever

Further proof that Brooklyn really is the coolest city in the U.S., Dr. Charles Xavier himself, Sir Patrick Stewart, recently moved the Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope and has quickly become one of the best things to watch on the Internet. Back in May he tweeted a photo of himself eating his first slice of New York pizza, which quickly went viral. When asked about the slice incident by New York magazine, he said that he was eating it, "because my fiancée and I were a little hung-over yesterday morning and she said what we need is pizza and a soothing drink." Sure this quote may seem innocuous, what NYC resident doesn't get a slice after a few too many, but let's remember that the man is 72 and his name is preceded by a "Sir." The awesomeness bar has clearly been raised. And now, Stewart's girlfriend was kind enough to post this video yesterday of him giving a master class on comedy's very difficult to pull off quadruple take. And just in case you have any doubt over Sir Patrick's comedic chops, you should watch this. Maybe when it comes to being the coolest guy ever, geography is everything.
